FLUID MECHANICSMMV021
Strömningslära

Credits: 5. Grading scale: TH. Compulsory for: M3XET. Optional for: M4. Course coordinator: Univ lekt Christoffer Norberg, Energivetenskaper. Recommended prerequisites: Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, Basic course (MMV012), Applied Mathematics (FMA062). Assessment: Written examination and assignments. The group study on a special field not included in the course book involves a written report and an oral presentation. Additional home exercises may give extra points added to the results on written examinations. Parts: 2. Further information: The Course will be given 2005. Homepage: http://www.vok.lth.se.

Aim
The aim of the course is to acquire a deeper understanding of various flow phenomena of both fundamental and technical importance; to acquire knowledge about classical and modern techniques for the study and analysis of technical fluid mechanical problems.

Contents
Part A (60 %): History and scope of fluid mechanics; integral relations for a control volume; differential relations for a fluid particle; viscous flow in ducts; introduction to turbulence; boundary-layer flows; flow around slender and bluff bodies.
Part B (40 %): Incompressible inviscid flow; aerodynamic theory; compressible flow; open-channel flow. 3 laboratory exercises.

Literature
F. M. White, Fluid Mechanics, 5th Edition, McGraw-Hill, 2003; C. Norberg, Introduction to Turbulence, Lecture Notes (in Swedish); C. Norberg, Hot Wire Anemometry, Report (in Swedish).
